Aerospace Medical Research conducts a cross-functional research program concerned with issues ranging from the molecular to the cosmic level of aerospace medicine so as to improve the safety of humans in civilian aerospace operations. In support of this research, databases of medical and aircraft accident data are maintained.
The current OSU Airport began in 1943 as a flight training facility for military and civilian pilots, operated by the OSU School of Aviation. [6] The airport was used as a research location for crop dusting aircraft in the 1940s. A Piper J-3 Cub was used for testing until it crashed in 1957 and the project was halted. [5]
Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) Army Research Laboratory (ARL) Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) Army Medical Research and Material Command (USAMRMC)
The research activities conducted at AARL are based around a compressed air system that is capable of holding 1500 cubic feet (42.5 m3) of air at 2560 psia (17.65MPa), a 2 MW on site DC power station, and vacuum system capable of holding suction at .15 psia (1.01 kPa). [2]
In February 1921 the War Department recognized The School for Flight Surgeons [51] as a Special Service School, giving it equal status with the Medical Research Laboratory. On November 8, 1922, the Air Service Medical research Laboratory and School for Flight Surgeons was designated as The School of Aviation Medicine. [40]
The facility opened in June 1942 as Lockbourne Army Airfield, named for the nearby village of Lockbourne. [5] [6] Soon renamed the Northeastern Training Center of the Army Air Corps, it provided basic pilot training and military support; it also trained Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) to fly B-17 bombers and glider pilots to fly the Waco CG-4A.
The 711th Human Performance Wing (711 HPW) is a wing of the United States Air Force based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio.. Air Force officials redesignated the inactive Harry G. Armstrong Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory, or AAMRL, as the 711th HPW and activated it on March 26, 2008, as one of 10 entities moving under the control of the Air Force Research Laboratory. [1]
